Chapter 134

Lu Xuan followed Bai Li Jianqing into a serene courtyard.

The place was adorned with exotic flowers and rare plants, with groups of three to five cultivators scattered around, deeply engaged in discussions.

The two of them settled in a secluded corner, where Bai Li Jianqing continuously introduced the identities of the cultivators present to Lu Xuan.

"The cultivator with a somewhat delicate appearance and perfected Qi cultivation has an incredible background. He's a descendant of an elder in our sect who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage. His status is highly revered."

He discreetly gestured towards a young cultivator with a soft and refined aura, communicating this to Lu Xuan.

"That person's background is similarly impressive. Her surname is Ye, the daughter of the renowned city lord in the realm of cultivation. She's exceptionally favored."

A charming young lady was surrounded by numerous young cultivators, both male and female.

"And that one is..."

Bai Li Jianqing had an encyclopedic knowledge of the identities of the cultivators present and meticulously introduced them to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan nodded gently, politely declining the suggestion to meet everyone. Bai Li Jianqing didn't insist, heading off to socialize, leaving Lu Xuan alone in the corner enjoying the spiritual tea and fruits.

As more cultivators gathered in the courtyard, Lu Xuan, accustomed to solitude, felt a bit uncomfortable in such a bustling scene. However, the spiritual fruits were surprisingly delicious, so he sat in silence, observing.

Groups of three to five people discussed their cultivation experiences, speaking freely and passionately.

As discussions intensified, a section was cleared out for smaller-scale demonstrations of techniques.

Lu Xuan patiently waited. After a while, the discussions quieted down, and a serene-looking young girl ascended a redwood platform.

Her presence exuded a deep aura, indicating she was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As soon as the girl stepped onto the platform, the cultivators fell silent, and not even a pin drop could be heard.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Sandalwood Gathering I'm hosting. Among our fellow disciples present, we have both regular attendees and new faces."

"Let me briefly explain the rules. After discussing cultivation insights, we'll have a free exchange of treasures later."

"Any disciple present can come up, showcase their item for exchange, provide detailed information about it, and state the type of item they seek in return."

"If anyone values an item on stage and happens to have what the presenter desires, a direct exchange can take place."

"Afterward, there will be a free exchange session for private discussions."

"Only one rule: no forced transactions, let's maintain harmony among fellow disciples."

The serene girl spoke, her eyes distant, her tone carrying a hint of severity.

Seeing no objections from the crowd below, she relaxed slightly, smiling lightly as if a peaceful valley suddenly bloomed with orchids.

"Let's begin."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, a cultivator at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation leaped onto the stage.

"Senior brothers and sisters, I'll start the gathering by presenting an item."

With a respectful salute, the cultivator took out a fist-sized spirit ore from their storage pouch.

The surface of the ore was uneven, a deep black with countless tiny golden dots shimmering within, resembling twinkling stars.

"Starfall Stone, a second-grade spirit ore used in crafting flying swords, in exchange for second-grade healing pills."

There was a slight commotion among the crowd. The Starfall Stone in the cultivator's hand was relatively rare and sizable, sparking interest among many.

Soon, another cultivator stepped forward, presenting a second-grade flying sword artifact in exchange for talismans and pills of the same grade.

Those willing to exchange showcased rare items; often, they received what they desired, but sometimes, the demands were too high, and no one was willing to trade.

Lu Xuan noticed that the items for exchange mainly consisted of talismans, pills, and artifacts, along with some materials from demonic beasts, spiritual herbs, and ores. He hadn't seen any cultivators offering spiritual plants for exchange yet.

He wasn't urgently seeking talismans or pills, so he remained observant without making any moves.

"A complete set of a demonic beast's remains, originally from a Second-Grade Barbaric Bull, with undamaged bones perfect for forging defensive artifacts."

"Exchangeable for similar-tier items that ward off malevolent influences, spiritual herbs, etc."

A middle-aged cultivator had something that caught Lu Xuan's attention.

A massive dark-green bone, nearly twenty feet long and around ten feet tall, looked ferocious.

According to the cultivator, this bone belonged to a Second-Grade Barbaric Bull, renowned for its incredible defensive properties, suitable for forging defensive artifacts.

Though the bone was intact and massive, the cultivators who had initially considered exchanging for it cooled down upon hearing the cultivator's requests for defensive items or spiritual plants. Such items were rare and precious, making this trade seem less profitable.

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet.

A hint of disappointment crossed the middle-aged cultivator's face as he was about to step down from the platform, but then, a clear voice spoke up.

"I have a batch of second-grade Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaves. Would this be of interest, Senior Brother?"

Lu Xuan stood up and asked.

He had his eyes set on the immense bone of the Barbaric Bull. Such a large piece could be used for nurturing the Thorny Bone Spirit for a considerable period.

"A batch of Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaves?"

The middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment. Trading this Barbaric Bull bone for tea leaves seemed unprofitable, but he urgently needed such spiritual herbs. Considering Lu Xuan's description, he agreed to the exchange, believing the tea leaves were of good quality.

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan approached the cultivator as he descended from the stage and exchanged a fingertip-sized Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaf for the massive bone.

"Thankfully, my storage pouch is large enough; otherwise, fitting this bone would have been quite awkward."

Lu Xuan thought as he felt the bone taking up most of the space in his pouch.

After a short wait, he ascended the wooden platform, taking out the remaining fourteen Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaves and some Dark Marrow Fungus from his storage pouch.

"I have fourteen pieces of Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaves of good or superior quality, with calming and enlightening effects, suitable for resisting malevolent intrusions."

"Dark Marrow Fungus, a second-grade spiritual herb of excellent quality, can be used to refine certain body-strengthening pills or directly consumed to enhance physique."

"I intend to exchange these for spiritual plants or refining methods."

Lu Xuan displayed fourteen tender green tea leaves on his left palm, emitting a fragrant aroma. Some nearby cultivators could even catch a whiff.

In his right hand, he held a dark-red lingzhi with visible crimson veins and a faintly flowing viscous liquid inside.

"Such high-quality Clear Serenity Spirit Tea leaves! And a rarely seen second-grade Dark Marrow Fungus!"

As soon as the spiritual herbs appeared in Lu Xuan's hands, they immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
